  • Regular newsletters, education, and communication materials
  • Induction sessions for senior leaders
  • Access for employees and their families to the Femili PNG case management centre

Benefits

Subscribing to the Bel isi PNG Initiative has benefits for businesses, employees, and survivors.

Businesses benefit from reducing the effects of family and sexual violence on their employees.  FSV has significant costs to businesses including reduced productivity, increased absenteeism, and higher employee turnover.

Employees benefit from training on FSV and from an understanding of the services available to help them if they experience family or sexual violence.

Survivors benefit from being able to access case management services and from being able to use the safe house.

Femili PNG is grateful for the funding under the Bel isi PNG Initiative to be able to operate in Port Moresby and provide case management services free of charge.
